I know a medium sized defense contractor that ultimately had to sell itself a few years because they did this.

They would come recruiting in bulk at our school only to fire the majority within a year to satisfy their stack ranking nonsense.

10 years later, the engineers they were protecting retired and they couldnt find anyone willing to work for them, even people still in school knew the reputation.

People are so desperate for work nowadays I don't think a negative reputation would deter applicants
